Love thy Neighbor
By Lisa NoeCat

The violence is everywhere
It’s tearing me apart
In the churches, in the schools
No one follows the golden rule

Snipers randomly shooting down
Innocent citizens hitting ground
Black hates white, white hates black
Jews, Muslims, Christians they all lack

Love and compassion to join as one force
Fight our demons and set a new course
Bring together a world with no war
Stop treating earth as if it’s a *****

Be able to walk the streets day and night
Not be worried or overcome with fright
Raise your children, teach them to love
All their neighbors come push and shove

Shepherd the earth and keep it well
Only time will tell
We’ve polluted our fields and our streams
We’ve taken from God’s dream

He gave this earth as a home so pure
We’re destroying it, turning it to a sewer
Robbing coal and oil
Poisoning the soil

This world has just gone mad
Each generation has had a fad
Children no longer play
They worry each day

Will the world soon end
It’s man’s doing you can depend
He’s writing his own destiny
The outcome in his hands you see

It can be turned around
Everybody make a sound
Say stop to hate,
Try to relate

Make your little piece of earth clean
Help others sight unseen
Realize we are just one race
Humans from every place

Each one bleeds red
Listen to what I’ve said
“Love thy neighbor
As you love yourself.”

The Lost Boy
By Lisa Noe

There was a boy who was homeless
He lived under a bypass bridge
He was named Arthur Douglas

He lived in the town of Cambridge
He was only fifteen years old
They wanted to send him to an orphanage

But he was far too bold
No one could catch him, he hid from them
He didn’t even care about the cold

Then came Christmas, he thought of Bethlehem
He dreamed of the Christmas story, about Jesus
He knew they too where condemned like him

In his heart he lived in a palace
Free from all of the stress
No more no one to harm him.

A praise for my God!
By Lisa Noe

Warmth drenched me like sunlight beaming upon the water.
It was a unique feeling I received upon kneeling on my knees;
Asking You to aid me yet again, and You always send an answer.
Perhaps sometimes it is not the answer I wanted or expected,
But in Your wisdom You send reply along with an angel to guard.

I shall never leave You my Lord, You are my salvation from life.
You are the rock upon which I build my home. You are my foundation.
You’re each brick, all the mortar that holds me together, You’re my strength.
You are the stretching sky, the deepest sea, the mountains high.
You are in every thing that creeps upon the earth, You are life, You are Spirit.

I pay homage to you for you lit the sky, you give drink to the earth.
You shade the earth in places, giving oxygen to all the green trees.
You feed your people with your words spoken from you private place.
Oh the Holy Laws upon which we guide our lives, they are so just.
You are the Master of the Universe and that’s written upon my heart.

A Day In Heaven
By Lisa Noe

I sit upon your lap while you tell me stories of those who’ve passed.
Each story is amazing to me how each and every life affects the life of some one else.
You are the father, telling the human story.  Stories of love, loss, laughter, sadness and all the emotions in between.

There are only a number of souls who are born into this world, from the beginning, yes far too many for a human to ever count, but for the father they are but a number in is hands.  These lives have been given from the beginning of time.  They are relived time and time again.  Until they learn a message from each lifetime.  In this never ending life we will know each other in countless of ways, as brother and sister, daughter and mother, father and son and so on.  We are all men, brothers under the skin.  Don’t do to one person what you don’t want done to you or your sister or brother, for it is but one in the same.

“I am you and you are me and we are one don’t you see!”

We will see our Heaven and we will find each other there, It was set in motion from the beginning.

A memory of Daddy
Lisa Noe

It happened long ago on Keesler Air Force Base
I went to the NCO club, which was our favorite place
Daddy and I would visit here every Sunday morn.
The food we ordered was very Southern
Biscuits and gravy and French toast
That is what I liked the most

Sometimes we’d go and fish
But I detested that dish
So we’d always throw them back
But fun we did not lack
We caught some flounders on our hooks,
But that we never cooked.

Then to the park we would go
I ‘d swing to and fro
Go down the slide a time or two
I would always over do
But the fun that we had
Always made me love my dad

That is a memory that I cherish
And it will never perish
My dad is gone now
But I shall always be his pal
He called me shadow
That was many years ago

Special are my memories
He made us the best of families
All of us adored him
His light will never dim
I miss him so much
As I loved him a bunch.

The Fallen Soldier
By Lisa Noe

As the bombs burst in the sky
I saw as it were a stranded guy
Running across the battle field
Using his helmet as a shield

When then struck an alarm
As a bullet hit him in the arm
Down he went to the ground
He made a thud a loud sound

His buddy called out to him
We shall help up you I and them
The troop of men raced to the man
They saved his life gave him a hand.

He was grateful to them all
The men who saved him from his fall
I salute you this he said
To all the men of which he led.

Beautiful lives Haiku
By Lisa Noe

In all things I see
There is beauty in living
When we share our lives
